If you have a 1080 screened device (e.g. a HTC Butterfly, Xperia Z, Oppo Find 5 or HTC One etc.) you will have noticed that a number of apps that you'd usually install (e.g. BBC News, MySMS, Candy Crush Saga and many more) show as not being compatible due to the higher resolution of the device. This is very annoying. So i've made a fix.

I have created a patched version of the Play Store which is completely stock with the exception of the fact that it thinks your device has a 1280x720 screen at 320dpi - the Nexus 4 settings - hence the 'missing' applications show up.

The initial release is based on the 3.10.14 Play Store version, the mod will probably get overwritten as Play Store updates itself, so if you find that you can no longer see apps again, check back here where I will hopefully have noticed the same and posted an updated APK.

The APK can be downloaded below - you'll need to be rooted as you need to push it to /system/app/Phonesky.apk and chmod it to 644. You also need to remove Phonesky.odex and then reboot. This is very much in testing - please let me know how you get on. [NOTE: INSTALLING THIS LIKE A REGULAR APK WILL NOT WORK!]

Yeah.

Probably should put this in your ask modaco thread really, but is there any chance you can install https://play.google....bout.screeninfo on both the Butterfly J & Xperia Z and get screenshots of both? Would help some developers out looking for this info at the moment.
